The meeptiun given her by her uncle IS not very enthusiastic. Carolyn is also chilled by the stern demeanor of Aunty Hose,' Uncle Joe's housekeeper.

It wits when she iii ice in sight of the Parlow place on Monday after - a ((((( n, site and Prince. that Carolyn May bethought her of the very best person .in the world with whom to ad- vise upon the mornentOUti (111C41011 - which so troubled her. Who could be more interested in the limpidness of Miss Amanda than Mr. il'arlow himself? The little girl had been going to call in Miss Amanda. Aunty Bose had ..ald she might mid Miss Amanda had Invited her \apecially.\ But the thought of taking the old aeirpenter into her confidenee anti sob Nising with Mtn delayed Boit visit. Mr. Varlow was busy on some piece of a•abinet work, hut he nodded briskly to t he little girl when she came to the -door of the shop and looked in. \Are you very busy, Mr. Pariow?\ he asked him after a watchful min - sate or two. \My hands he, Carlyn May,\ said the carpenter In his dry voice. \Oh!\ \But I kin listen to ye—and I kin talk.\ \Oh that's nice! you hear *bout what happened yesterday?\ \Eh?\ he queried, eying her quizzi- cally. \Does anything ever happen ott :Sunday?\ \Something did on this Sunday,\ .rried the little girl. \Didn't you hear etbout the snake?\ \What d'ye mean—snake?\ And then little Carolyn,. May ex- plained. She told the story with such tearitestness that Ile stopped working to listen. \Humph!\ was his grunted COM- anent V the end. \Well!\ \Don't you think that was real ex- i citing?\ asked Carolyn May. \Anil just see how it almost brought my Uncle Joe and your Miss Amanda to- gether. Don't you see?\ Mr. Pariow actually jumped. \What's that you stir, child?\ he rnsped out grimly. \Brine Mandy and Joe Stagg together? Well, I guess not \Oh. Mr. Pariow, don't you think that would be just be-n-you-ti-ral?\ cried the little girl with a lingering , emphasis upon the most important Nvord. \Don't you see how' happy they would be?\ \I den't know as anybody's per- anxiaus to see that daughter of mina and -The Stagg friendly again. No good would come of it.\ Carolyn May looked at hint sorrow- fully. Mr. Parlow had quite disiup- .'inted her. It was plain to be seen that he was not the right one to ad- vise with about the matter. The little girl sighed. \I really did s'pose you'd want to see Miss Amanda happy, Mr. Parlow,\ she whispered. \Happy? Bah!\ snarled the old Eton, setting vigorously to work again. Ie acted as If he wished to say no more and let the little girl depart without another word. • Carofyn May really could not under- stand it—at least she could not im- mediately. , That Mr. Parlow might have a self- lett reason -for desiring to keep big dnughter and Joseph Stagg apart did not enter the little girl's mind. • After that Sunday walk, however, Carolyn May was never so much afraid .of her uncle as before. Why, he had even called Prince \good dog!\ 'Truly Mr. Joseph Stagg was being transformed—If slowly. He Could not deny to himself that, to a certain extent, he was enjoying the presence of his little niece at The corners.

But he sure is thinkin' of some other things too—ya-as, Weedy!\ \What things, Chet?\ Carolyn May asked anxiously, hoping that Uncle Joe had shown some recovered inter- est in Miss Amanda and that Chet had noticed it. \Why—well— Now, you see, there's that house you used to live in. You know about that?\ \What alliont it, Chet?\ the little girl asked rather timidly. \Well Mr. Stagg ain't never done notithe about it. He ain't sold it, nor sold the furniture, nor. nothin'.

But Carolyn May hud heard some news that made her suddenly quiet and site was glad a customer came into store just then to draw Chet . Gorm- ley's attention. The child had never thought before about how the good things of life came to her—her food, elothes and lodging. But now Chet Gormley's chattering had given her a new view of the facts of the CONP. There had been no money left to spend for her needs. Uncle Joe was just keeping her out of charity! \And Prince, too,\ /bought the little girl, with a lump fit her throat. \Ile hasn't got any more home than a rab- bit ! And Crude .toe * don't really like ti' es—not even now. \oh dear me!\ pursued Carolyn Stay.. \It's awful laird to he an or- phan. But to be a poor orphan—juat a charity one—is a whole lot worse, IL guess. I wonder If I ought to stay with Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose and make them so much trouble?\ The thought bit deep Into the little girl's very impre4 , sionable mind. She wished to be alone and to think over this really tragic thing that faced her—fhe ugly fact that she was a \charity child.\ - \And you're a charity dog,' Prince CaIlleC1111,\ she said aloud, looking down at the mongrel who walked se- dately beside her along the country road. The little girl had loitered along the road until it was now dinner time. Indeed, Amity hose would have 11:111 the meal on the table twenty minutes earlier. Mr. Stagg had evidently re- mained at The Corners to sell the cow anti eat dinner too—thus \killing Iwo 1/11114 with one stone.\ Anti here (7:truly!' May and Prince were at • Mr. l'arlow's carpenter shop, just as the old man was taking off his aiiron preparatory to going in to WS thinner. When Miss Amanda was away nursing. the carpenter ate at a neigh- bor's table. Now Miss Amanda appeared on the side porch. \Where are you going, little girl?\ she asked, smiling. \Home to Aunty Bose,\ said Carolyn May bravely. \But I guess rm., late for dinner.\ \Don't you want to come In and eat with us, Carolyn May? Your own din- ner will be cold.\ \Oh may I?\ cried the little girl. Somehow she did not feel that she could face Uncle Joe just now with this new thought that Chet Gormley's words had put Into her heart. Then she hesitated, with her hand on the gate latch. \Will there be some scraps for Prince?\ she asked. \Or bones?\ \I believe I can find something for Prince',\ Silas Amanda replied. \I owe Min 1114ore than one good dinner, I guess, for killing that snake. Come in anti we will see.\ Carolyn Slay thought that Miss A11131111111. in her house dress and ruffled apron, with sleeves turned back above her dimpled. brown elbows, was pret- tier than ever. Her cheerful observa- tions quite enlivened Carolyn May again. \I think you are lovely, Miss Aman- da,\ she said as she helped wipe the dishes after the earpenter had gone back to the shop. \I shall always love you. I guess that anybody who ever slid love you would keep right on doing so till they died! They Just couldn't help It!\ \Indeed?\ said the woman, laughing. \And how about you, Chicken Little? Aren't you universally beloved too?\ \Oh I don't expect so, Miss Aman- da,\ said the child. \I wish I was.\ \Why aren't you?\ \I—I— Weil, I guess it's just be- cause I'm not,\ Carolyn May said des- perately. \You See, atm' elf, Miss A11111111111, 1111 only n charity child.\ \Oh my child!\ exclahned Miss Atmunia. \Who told you that?\ hkst heard about it,\ confessed the Mlle visitor. \Not from Aunty Rose Kennedy?\ \Oh no, ma'am.\ \Did that— Did your uncle tell you such a thing?\ \Oh no! He's just as good as he can be. But of course he doesn't like children. You knew he doesn't. And he just ffiominates dogs! It Carolyn and Prince have an. other adventure, in which they play the part of good Semen - tins. Watch for the next In- stallment. — (TO DE CONTINUED % ki:son's Reply to Last Hun Note Says Surrender! THROUGH WITH AUTOCRATS Tells Berlin Nothing Can Be Gained if Leaving This Essential Thing Unsaid—Chiefs of Allied Arm- ies Must Dictate Any Armistice Terms, Wnshington, Oct. 24.—\The nations of the world do not and eannot trust the word of those who have hitherto been the masters of Gerinnit policy.\ This Is the answer of the president of the United States to Germany's latest bid for peace, while notifying her thin OH her acceptance of his terillS. the question of 1111 armistice, which Germany seeks, is to be present- ed to the governments of the nations associated with the 17tilteil states.

Text of Reply. President 1Vilson's reply to the lat- est German note follows: \Department of State, Oct. 23. \Sir—I have the honor to acknowl- edge the receipt of your note of the 22d, transmitting a communication.un- der date of the 20th front the Ger- man government, and to advise you that the president 11118 instructed me to reply thereto as follows: \Having received the solemn and ex- plicit assurance of the German goverh- ment that it unreservedly accepts the terms of peace laid down in his ad- dress to the coneress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1018, and the principles of settlement enun- ciated In his subsequent addresses, particularly the address of the 27th of September, and that it desires to discuss the details of their application, and that this wish mut purpose eman- ate not from those who have hitherto dictated the policy anti conducted the present war on Gerinnny's behalf, but 'Trent ministers wito speak for the ma- jority of the relehetng and for an over- whelming majority of the German peo- ple, and having received also the ex- plicit promise of•the present German government that the humane rules of civilized warfare • will be observed both on land awl sea by the Gerrnon nrmed forces, the president of the United States feels thnt he cannot de- cline to take up With the governments with which the government of the Must Protect Allies. \The president huts, therefore, trims- mitted his correspondence with the present German authorities to the gov- ernments with which the government of the United States Is associated as in belligerent, with the suggestion that if those governments itre disposed to effect peeve upon the terms and prin- elpleg indicated their military advis- ers and the military advisers of the United States be asked to submit to the governments atesoeLuted against ()enmity the necessary terms of such ' fen armistice tut will fully protect the interests of the peoples Involved and insure to the associated governments the unrestricted power to safeguard anti enforce the details of the peace to which the aerates] government has agreed, provided they deem such an armistice possible from the military point of view. \Should such terms of unnistiee be suggested, their acceptance by Ger- many will afford the best concrete evi- dence of her unequivocal acceptance of the terms and principles of pence front which the whole action proceeds. '\rho president would deem himself lacking In candor did lie not point out in the frankest possible terms the rea- son why extraordinary safeguards must he demanded. \Significant and important as the constitut tonal changes seem to be which are spoken of by the German foreign secretary In his note of the 20th of October, it does not appear that the principle of a government re- sponsible to the German people has yet been fully worked out, or that any guarantees either exist or are in con- templation that the alterations of prin- ciple and of practice now partially agreed upon will lie permanent. 2,..'Nloreover, it does not appear that the heart of the present difficulty has been reached. German People Without Voice. \It may he that future Wars Wive been brought under the control of the German people, hut the present war has not been, and it is with the pres- ent war that we are dealing. \It. is evident that the German peo- ple have no means of emuntanding the acquiescence of the militnry nuthori- ties of the empire In the popuinr will; that the power of ahe king of Prussia to control the policy of the empire is unimpaired; that the determining initiative still remains...with those who have hitherto been the masters of Ger- many. \Feeling that the whole peace of the world depends now on plain speaking and straightforward action, the pres- ident deems it Ills duty to say, with- out any attempt to soften what may seem harsh words that the nations of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those who have hitherto been the masters of German policy, and to point out once more that in concluding peace and attempting to undo the in- finite injuries and injustices of this war the government of the United States cermet deal with any but verit- able representatives of the German people who have been assured of a genuine coatitutional standing as the real rulers of Germauy. \If it must deal with the military masters and the monarchical autocrats of Germany, or if It is likely to have to deal with them Inter in regard to the international obligations of the German empire, it must debate not peace negotiations, but surrender. \Nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid. - \Accept sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration.

The armistice is a matter for Marshal Foch and Ad- miral Beatty to decide. Germany and Austria proimbly will not believe they are beaten until their capitals are oc- cupied. The Gennnns must be beaten to their knees.. We must continue hammering them until the white flag Is sent into our lines, signifying un- conditional surrender. They must ac- cept our terms.
